General discussion

I'm looking for a good newsletter script. The best option would be a module which found the 5 most commented nodes and automatically sent an email to everyone on the list each week with links ot the nodes and a short teaser about each one.

But any free script will be fine. Anyone have recommendations?

I'm thinking about using some of the drupal modules on my site (not made with drupal)
Would it be hard to adapt the modules to my site? (e-commerce for example)
Thanks

It was supposed to be available for 4.6, but I can't seem to find it.

This is brilliant. I got this one from coppermine, and it uses a 'flashthumb.php' and 2 flash files located in the root directory. This pulls out thumbnail images etc. at random by making an sql query and portrays them in a scrolling strip accrros the page. It needs a little adaptation, for which I could do with some easy help from a long-serving Drupaleer. The flash files are ok as is.

Specific code has to dropped into anycontent*.php page(s) to call these files and functions into a table. This needs no adaptation. The flashthumb.php code does and is as follows:

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <slideshow><settings><image_folder></image_folder><time>5</time><fade>3</fade><repeat>true</repeat><captions>false</captions></settings><images>';
if ($FORBIDDEN_SET != "") $FORBIDDEN_SET = "AND $FORBIDDEN_SET";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_Files']} AS p WHERE filename LIKE '%.jpg' $FORBIDDEN_SET ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 13");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{
	$type = 'thumb';
	$xml .= "<image><file><![CDATA[".get_pic_url($row, $type) ."]]></file><caption></caption></image>";
}
$xml .= '</images></slideshow>';
echo $xml;

So things that need to be chaged are the relevant TABLE_??? etc. All help welcome. I have the .swf files handy for download at:

I've been wanting to this site for a while now and after finding drupal it all came together. My only problem now is that I need some help picking a domain!

The site is a news portal on technology in the developing world. This is a labor of love for me and I am excited to get started. I have two choices for domains and it is driving me crazy!

1) TechAndDev.com, easy to remember, terms are related to the topic, and I also have the long version "TechnologyAndDevelopment.com". The thing is that my site's focus has expanded past just "development".

Is there a module for citation and reference management in Drupal? I have never seen such a thing in any CMS yet. Would be cool!
